培根的《sylva sylvarman》和他的《新大西洋》都是在他死后不久出版的,由他的牧师罗利编辑。从表面上看,这些作品是不同的,并且被认为是不相关的,假设罗利只是试图赶出(在他的雇主去世之后)占用他最后几年的两部作品。为了确定它们之间的关系,我们首先需要确定的是,《新大西洋》是否仅仅是《大西洋》卷中最后一分钟的补充;第二,罗利如何评价他们之间的联系,以及他是如何影响这种联系的;第三,这两件作品是否有其他共同之处,使培根本人将它们视为伴侣作品。这样的检查表明,有内在联系的作品,可以用来阐明这两个作品的目的。
Bacon’sSylva Sylvarumand hisNew Atlantisboth appeared soon after his death, edited by his chaplain, Rawley. The works are, on the face of it, dissimilar, and have been treated as unrelated, on the assumption that Rawley was merely attempting to rush out (in the wake of his employer’s death) two works that had occupied his last years. In order to establish just what their relation is, we need to establish, first, whetherNew Atlantiswas simply a last‐minute addition to theSylvavolume; second, what Rawley says about their association and how he effects it; and third, whether the two works have other concerns in common that would have led Bacon himself to consider them as companion pieces. Such an examination shows that there were intrinsically connected pieces, and can be used to throw light on the aims of both works.
